A floral is not the usual for me, however I really liked the way this one came out. I used Canon's "Fantastic Plastic", the 50mm F1.8, for this shot. I recently got it and am still learning what I can do with it. I like the way the shallow DOF guides my eye right up to the part I like, which is the closed buds with the outside light creating a halo of the fuzz on them.
Pre-challenge notes:
I know a floral shot needs to really stand head and shoulders above the rest to get a high score here. Some may feel it is overexposed, but I like the high key effect on it. Figure this may be good for a mid 5.
Post challenge notes:
Wrong again. This is why I don't do a lot of florals.

I like how wispy the flower looks in front of those bright highlights, but I think more cropping was needed to clean up the image and place more emphasis on the focal point.
